Were Ilya and LeCun both wrong? Evidence mounts that LLMs are generalizing
Efficient-Opinion-92 · reddit · 2026-09-28
A Reddit thread argues that Ilya Sutskever and Yann LeCun, both prominent critics who said LLMs won't reach human intelligence largely because they lack generalization, may be proven wrong. The poster claims early evidence now shows LLMs beginning to generalize across all domains. The discussion debates how "generalization" should be defined and whether current evidence suffices, reflecting the ongoing dispute over LLMs' capability ceiling.
